Swing

2004. Besieged by a goal-oriented fiancée and an overbearing father, a struggling young musician tries to keep his dream alive. Noting that one problem with his life may be a bona fide lack of passion, a helpful uncle points him toward an older woman, who teaches him about swing dancing -- and about following his heart.

Sweet November

Is she afraid of commitment? Or is she hiding a terrible secret? Frank Langella co-stars in this romantic drama from Irish director Pat O'Connor.

Jade
